see -.BR tiff2ps (1). -.SH OPTIONS -.TP 10 -.BI \-p " number" -Print only the indicated page. -Multiple pages may be printed by specifying -this option more than once. -.TP 10 -.BI \-x " resolution" -Use -.I resolution -as the horizontal resolution, in dots/inch, of the image data. -By default this value is taken from the file. -.TP 10 -.BI \-y " resolution" -Use -.I resolution -as the vertical resolution, in lines/inch, of the image data. -By default this value is taken from the file. -.TP 10 -.B \-S -Scale each page of image data to fill the output page dimensions. -By default images are presented according to the dimension -information recorded in the -.SM TIFF -file. -.TP 10 -.BI \-W " width" -Use -.I width -as the width, in inches, of the output page. -.TP 10 -.BI \-H " height" -Use -.I height -as the height, in inches, of the output page. -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -Some messages about malformed -.SM TIFF -images come from the -.SM TIFF -library. -.PP -Various messages about badly formatted facsimile images -may be generated due to transmission errors in received -facsimile. -.I fax2ps -attempts to recover from such data errors by resynchronizing -decoding at the end of the current scanline. -This can result in long horizontal black lines in the resultant -\*(Ps image. -.SH NOTES -If the destination printer supports \*(Ps Level II then -it is always faster to just send the encoded bitmap generated -by the -.BR tiff2ps (1) -program. -.SH BUGS -.I fax2ps -should probably figure out when it is doing a poor -job of compressing the output and just generate -\*(Ps to image the bitmap raster instead. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.BR tiff2ps (1), -.BR libtiff (3) -.PP -Libtiff library home page: -.BR http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/ |
